Persistence of Imagination

Persistence of Imagination

Life is not as it seems, imagination so unreal
Don't let it carry you away
Making up life as you go, not sure of your path
Not knowing if it can be changed

You . . . The victim of your own mind
With . . . The passing of time
It changes every day
Now . . . The future is so far
Ask . . . Who you are
It's hard for even you to say

Dreams are interfering, with reality
You're never sure which to believe
You're scared to tread new ground, you can't relive the past
Indecision ruling your life

Why . . . Must you be caught
Seek . . . What you have sought
For what seems like eternity
Search . . . For an easy way
With . . . Each passing day
To lift this burden from your life

Your saddened by the past, if only your dreams could last
Changing your life to make it fit
Looking to find your place, wherever it may be
Just hoping to find some happiness

Imagination continues, contorting images in your mind
Blind to your problems for all to see
Dreams rule the lifetime, so short - so long it seems
The fear sometimes scares you away

Look . . . Now don't ask why
You . . . You might be able to find
Be careful what you wish
See . . . Your dreams come true
Love . . . Of the new
It might not be what you hoped it would be

As the tears roll down your face, you contemplate life this race
How soon will it end?
The solutions not within reach, you pray for never-ending peace
Only in death will it be
Death will it be, death will it be, death will it be

Time displaces many things, memories seem so real
Our objective views
No one can change the facts, they're locked safely away
We know the truth from experience

On . . . On the run in our minds
Race . . . With the times
Over and over
Lost . . . Track of the days
Times . . . Unfriendly ways
Company only to yourself
